Heed God's word

Open or closed hands

Al friend sent me a book///"\the Friendship Book". From it I extracted one of the topics therein which struck me because it expressed such an important thought all of us should consider: "A little while ago I was in cjurch listeneing to a sermon on the text "Give and it shall be given to yhou", in the ocurse of which the minister said, "A closed hand cannot recieve.:.

"Those words have kept recurring to me since, not only in the way the miniseter used them, ;but because they have reminded me of so many other things a closed hand cannot do. It cna't shake hands. It can't wave a friendly greeting... only shake a threatening fist. It can't pat a little child on the heatr. It can't be laid re-assuringly on the shouluder o fsomeont who is discourgaged. It can t run over the pages of a book, or play a musical instrument. it can't scatter seed or pluck a flower.

"Thank god for the joys that come to us through our own hands and tose of tohers."
